President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that it is very important that his meeting with US President Donald Trump takes place before Trump's talks with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, because then it will be a dialogue about Ukraine without Ukraine, unfair and ineffective. Zelensky said this in an interview with Reuters, UNN reports.

Zelenskyy said that meeting with Donald Trump before his meeting with Putin "is very important, otherwise it will be a dialogue about Ukraine without Ukraine.
"I think this is not fair to Ukraine. Secondly, it will have no real prospects for ending the war. Even the end of the hot phase of this war. I think it's important for partners to discuss their issues first, and then have a conversation with the enemy. I think that this is the context in which we should act," Zelenskyy said.
He noted that there are various voices, including in Ukraine, who say that "President Trump has already agreed on everything with the Putins, and Ukraine will be notified only afterwards.
"This will not be the case, I am sure of it. I am sure that we have transparent relations between us and our partners. There is no point in this, there will be no result," Zelensky added.
According to him, people need to understand that Ukraine is negotiating, not accepting ultimatums from Russia.
"If this is the case, it will be simultaneously to Ukraine, to America, to the entire free world. This cannot be allowed, this is what Putin wants," the President noted.
